Once and the only thing to, er shall we say rise, was the contents of my stomache in revolt. :eek: :D

I can't wait to try these delicacies. After some of the stuff I ate on the stopover in Hong Kong (en route to a honeymoon in Oz) my stomach can handle lumps of steel.
And anyway . . . nobody on here is vegetarian surely?????

Think that it is actually sherded cabbage, and your right it is lovely.

One vegetarian over here.

Anyway what were you eating that was that bad in Hong Kong?

You can get strips of thin seaweed, popular as a snack in asia, bloody lovely, but if you don't like fish you'll hate it, quite a strong flavour of it. My flatmate supplies me regulary with packets of it from Taiwan and Japan. Slurp! :D

Pat we will bring you some beans and bread, and packets of Quavers - that and lager will see you have a nice balanced diet for the week :D

the local burger king will keep me going for the couple of days. like in the simpsons when they put a krusty burger on an unmanned oil rig. homer is lost at sea in a dinghy gets the spell of the krusty burgers and orders loads. :D

Two minutes later he comes out of the kitchen with a live fish in a plastic bag, like you'd get at a fairground after hitting the wall with three darts or something.
One of the strangest nights out ever. We just ate what was put in front of us and to this day I haven't a clue what it was, except there might have been cashew nuts in it.
Not the place to go if you have food allergies anyway . . and definitely NOT a destination for vegetarians.

:D :D
A job as food critic for Harpers and Collins (or failing that foot.ie!) awaits

I won't have much in the way of karma if I'm on the hill without a ticket.
Anyway would it be wise practising some of the moves amoungst some of the lads whove been couped up in a women free environment since they arrived in the Faroe's?!

My father's from the coast of Donegal so he used to always bring back some seaweed after he visits. It used to stay in the fridge for ages before he works up the courage to eat it and then tries to convince himself (and everyone else that it tastes nice.) As I said he convinced me once but never again.

Id be more concerned with you trying to do some of those moves after the amount of beer you are likely to consume. I can just see Sky sports catching you on camera rolling off down the hill :D

Hey Pineapple Stu, d'ya get the 30 needed?

20 so far, but I e-mailed and said between the amount we have so far and the likes of GreenArmy's letter to his crowd of 50 and the bit in the Irish Times, there shouldn't be a problem. We'll be able to drag a few in from the pubs on the Tuesday once we get there too, I'd say!

We've got two more to add to the list who are with us and want to go to the Faroese night, Barney and Mick.

Cheers.

I might have 3 more for the list.

Incidentally, on this, I think you put your name down for it at the tourist office on the Tuesday. Mention that you're one of the Irish fans and they should have things organised and be able to tell you where it's at. Wherever it's at sounds like the best meet-up place, I think.

No, it is the best place to meet, if we try anywhere else people will just get comfy and into rounds going at different speed so they'll wait for people to catch up and have another drink by which time the people they were waiting for have finished theirs and now have to wait for the first set to finish so they'll get a pint in themselves. Everyone turns up extremely late and already drunk.

Yes this is the voice of experiance on this one.

Ok, so lets try and make it official. Everyone meet at the Faroese night. A good few of us will have mobys over there hopefully. its one text to let someone else knoe the time and place. And then everyone can spread the word. Hopefully :)

Well said, this crap always happens. Every night you go out.

Got an e-mail today...

Dear Kevin

I talked with the organizers of the Faeroes nights today, and they told me
that it s difficult finding a location.

Did you manage to find 30 persons?

There will be a Faeroes and Irish concert in the Nordic house on the 7th.
Maybe this is of interest?

Sincerely
Kunningarstovan

---

I've replied just confirming what exactly the concert is - sounds like basically some traditional Irish and Faroese music or something. I've said there should be some interest in that as well. Will let yez know what comes back...

Kunningarstovan is a cool name.
